Bottles and Breast Pumps

I am FTM and plan on breastfeeding but I would like to have a pump and some bottles on hand just in case things don't work out. Can anyone recommend which Breast Pump to get and which bottles are the best?

After reading up online I purchased the Tomee Tippee brand of breast pump and bottles as I read that the nipples on these closely resemble our own so it is easier to do a combination of breast and bottle feeding.

My husband would very much like the opportunity to feed bubs but I do not want to risk bubs rejecting the bottle.

I suggest you look at the brands that are available and do a bit of reading up on them - so you can make your own choice.

I, too, am a first time mum who plans to try and breastfeed.

I have find this site to be really useful - www.productreview.com.au - I have been visiting for all my baby products that I have been buying.

Based on what I have read here, I am leaning towards a Avent ISIS manual pump. I plan to BF mainly, but will be at Uni sometimes and may need to express. I don't want a noisy one, so electric was out for me (in case I ever have to do it at uni in the bathroom!)

But - it does sound like it can depend a bit on your boobs! I suppose we are all different, so what might work for most people might not work for me :)

Good luck with your research

Hi there

I have find this site to be really useful - www.productreview.com.au - I have been visiting for all my baby products that I have been buying.

Everyones boobs are different! Another option is to join breastfeeding association which hires them out so you can try a few. I have an Avent which worked for #1 but not #2 and Medela which was better for #2!

For #3 and #4 due soon, I'm hiring a hospital grade one to really get things going !

Depending on your budget if u can afford the medela electric one ( think it's called the swing) they're meant to b great I used the mescal symphony when Ryder went back into hospital but they are hospital grade and ridiculously expensive. Tommee tippee bottles are great we love them. The matching dummies not so much though he can't keep them in his mouth.
